Mi Bao said, "Tsk tsk! The people in the office have no idea what they're standing on! Hehe!"
But with so many people around, we can't just go in and dig!"
Li Xiyue said, "Of course we can't go in now, but we can come back tonight!"
Anyway, the owners of these things buried in the yard have long been unknown, so why not take them out and contribute to the country!
Li Xiyue, who was originally at a loss, is now all smiles. Having a system is really great!
She asked Mibao to set up a spatial passage for her, through which she returned directly to Cheng Xiaohui's home.
When she arrived at Cheng Xiaohui's house, she unsurprisingly saw Li Wenbo and Li Yan.
To her surprise, Li Yan, who was usually at odds with her, looked meek and submissive today, not daring to utter a single word.
When Li Wenbo saw Li Xiyue return, he said happily, "Yue'er, you're back! I've come to give your mother some good news. Mu Jiuhong and I are divorced!"
Today, we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with a letter of introduction and approval from our employers to obtain our divorce certificates.
"Li Yan is my daughter, and she's a child of the Li family. You won't mind if she stays with the Li family, will you?"
Before Li Xiyue could speak, Cheng Xiaohui said, "I don't mind, what's there to mind?"
Yue'er has a younger sister, so she can discuss things with her in the future, and the two sisters can rely on each other.
Li Xiyue's face was cold. Her mother had lived her whole life but still hadn't figured things out. She always thought others were as naive as herself!
Unfortunately, no one in this world is as innocent as Cheng Xiaohui. Even Li Yan is 800 times more cunning than Cheng Xiaohui!
Mi Bao rolled her eyes in the space and said, "Damn! No wonder Cheng Xiaohui died so tragically in her past life. If you weren't by her side in this life, her death would be even more tragic than in her past life! You can't let Li Yan stay in the Li family. Get rid of her immediately!"
Li Xiyue said, "If I kick her out now, Li Yan will become a good person, and Li Wenbo will think I'm being unreasonable."
"It's better to keep her here and let Li Wenbo see Li Yan's true colors. I can also teach my mother a lesson, showing her that while it's okay to be kind, you can't be a mindless pushover!"
She couldn't be by Cheng Xiaohui's side every day, so the best way to protect Cheng Xiaohui was to make her understand the wickedness of people's hearts!
Li Wenbo said with a smile, "Yue'er, look, this is the banquet I arranged. We've set up three tables at a restaurant and invited my colleagues and your mother's former colleagues. Is there anything else you need to arrange?"
Li Xiyue glanced at the menu and realized that Li Wenbo had really gone all out; this banquet would cost at least thirty or forty yuan!
Such specifications were considered high-end for that era.
She said, "There's nothing wrong with the menu."
Li Wenbo said, "If there are no problems, I will finalize the menu and time with the restaurant."
Let's set the date for tomorrow. After the banquet, we'll use a company car to pick your mom up and take her home. Is that alright with you?
Li Xiyue said, "Okay. I'll come back for the banquet tomorrow."
Li Wenbo rubbed his leg and said, "Great, everything that needs to be done has been decided. I'll go to the restaurant with Li Yan now."
Li Xiyue clearly saw the unreserved smile on Li Wenbo's face. At that moment, she believed that Li Wenbo's feelings for Cheng Xiaohui were genuine.
Li Wenbo left Cheng Xiaohui's house with the well-behaved Li Yan. His only regret was that Li Xiyue had not yet called him "Dad".
Before leaving, Li Yan politely said goodbye to Cheng Xiaohui.
Cheng Xiaohui's smile didn't disappear even after Li Wenbo walked away. She smiled and said to Li Xiyue, "Li Yan is a very sensible child. After she arrived, she kept calling me 'Auntie' and 'Grandma'."
She didn't know about our relationship before, and she was spoiled by her own mother, which is why she was so immature.
"Yue'er, my biggest regret is that you don't have any siblings. Your father and I can't be with you forever. You need a sister by your side to help you."
A cold smile played on Li Xiyue's lips. Cheng Xiaohui didn't know that sometimes, siblings could be more ruthless than enemies!
She said to Cheng Xiaohui, "Mom, time will tell. There's a saying that goes, 'A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.'"
After you return to the Li family, you won't be able to receive the subsidies from the neighborhood committee anymore. I think we can't rely on Li Wenbo for a living; we need to be self-reliant and earn our own money to support ourselves.
Cheng Xiaohui said, "How can I earn money to support myself? I don't have a job."
I spoke with the neighborhood director and asked her to help me find a job, but I'm too old, and none of the welfare factories in the neighborhood want me.
Li Xiyue said, "Didn't you hear the speech at the National Congress? The leader said that we are now going to reform and open up and encourage the private economy."
"Go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau tomorrow to apply for a business license. With an individual business license, we can do business on our own."
Cheng Xiaohui was startled. "Start your own business? Is that even possible? Isn't that making a mistake?"
Li Xiyue said, "The conference said that some people should get rich first, and then help others to get rich. How is this a mistake? This is responding to the call of the country! You can trust me!"
We can earn our own money and support ourselves. We can hold our heads high no matter where we go! And don't you want a good life?
Cheng Xiaohui nodded slowly. Of course she wanted to live a good life. She didn't mind suffering herself, but she was afraid of making her daughter suffer. For her daughter's sake, she had to earn money!
She said, "Okay, Mom will listen to you. I'll go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau tomorrow to ask. If we have a sole proprietorship business license, can we sell things? But what can we sell?"
Li Xiyue said, "I've already thought about what to sell. Once you get the individual business license, I guarantee our family will make a fortune!"
She had already envisioned a grand business plan: first, obtain a business license to legitimately earn her first pot of gold, and then set up a factory to make even more money!
Seeing that it was getting dark, she told her mother that she wanted to go back to her school dormitory.
Cheng Xiaohui escorted Li Xiyue all the way to the alley entrance before returning home.
Li Xiyue turned into an empty alley and had Mi Bao set up a spatial passage for her. She went directly to the courtyard house she had visited that afternoon through the spatial passage.
By this time, the staff in the courtyard had long since gone home, but to Li Xiyue's dismay, there was an old man guarding the gatehouse.
How can she dig if there are people around?!
Her gaze shifted slightly as she asked, "Honey, buy me some chrysanthemum extract powder from the trading system. When will it arrive?"
Mibao said, "Orders arrive instantly."
Li Xiyue's eyes widened in surprise, "What? It can be delivered instantly after ordering! Then place my order now!"
As soon as MiBao placed the order, her inbox instantly received a notification that the package had arrived.
Mibao opened the express box and took out the sealed chrysanthemum powder. The white powder was clearly visible in the transparent sealed bag.
It asked, "Yue'er, what's the use of this?"
Li Xiyue smiled and said, "This will be very useful!"
